Personal

I started karate when I was 4 1/2 years old...This is my first time making the Junior US Team!...My hero in real life is my late Uncle Tim, he was always excited about my karate and called me Hong Kong Phooey. He was a great athlete and understood the dedication and practice that it takes....I get my inspiration from the trainings with my training partners and Senseis. We really push each other to be better. My classes are full of older kids that are on the Jr and Sr US Teams so they inspire me to be as good as they are....My biggest win was my fight to get Super Third this year at Nationals, but I believe that my best is yet to come...."There may be people who have more talent than you, but there's no excuse for anyone to work harder than you do." - Derek Jeter
